S8 in Ronin

[mistahbtheoryz]

Its a 97 model in this... 340bhp+ whatever nitrous was stuck on it we dont actually get to see in the film... And in reality that XM would of been raped by the Audi

[baadbahta]

is this the audi s8 d2 4.2 v8 also what year is it im guessing R reg or S reg ????????

[Chills327]

Love this movie.Audi S8 was a beast in this movie.

[akainsano]

the s8 is the perfect car for shady arms deals

[dogsnoses]

I Think the XM in Ronin, is the V6 Model.

[dogsnoses]

I Have a Citroen XM Prestige 2L turbo, 1994, love it.!! great chase with the XM.

[rock3tcat]

Was this the manual version?

[mistahbtheoryz]

I had to get my S8 in black its proppa pimp!

Still goes like fcuk for a 2002 but the breaks need upgrading as they a bit woolly. Then again it is 1725k weight worth of car...

[amslogic]

1:57 What is Rasberry Champ?

[graemeoliver84]

@amslogic Raspberry JAM ie. blood - splat (not sure if he means they nearly got shot or they almost ran a pedestrian over)

[pero130RS]

7 people are cooks who like BMWs :S

Audi S8 D2 is a really badass car! :)

[MREK210]

tolle Darsteller, und ein super VFL Audi S8!

[jonnbb]

The S8 was converted to rwd for the film.

[lemondtourmalet]

and to think all that was in the case were some iceskates for his niece!

[pe6obutilkata]

great car-great movie

[flevostad]

At 3:33 the S8 has to chase te Citroen XM but when you stop it at 3:33 you wil see it's not the S8 but the Peugeot 605 that follows the XM...

[MrVielanda]

Well, the Citroen XM goes much better (4:18) on offroad terrains and it's much better as car. Her only problem is the fake engine...

[ncole90]

Awesome machine and an awesome movie!

[weeksy74]

after watching this film i went out and brought an S8 best car i ever owned!!!

[Shittywaffles]

this is a mysterious film. Its like, when you see a movie where they say, " we have retrieved the package sir" but they don't explain how, this is the how part

[graemeoliver84]

@Shittywaffles It's not really about the package (it's just a McGuffin), De Niro is really there to get Sheamus (Jonathan Pryce), a dangerous IRA terrorist.

[ouralphe]

che brutte le macchine francesi, sembrano disegnate tutte da un cerebroleso...

[Shoof120]

Awesome movie, Awesome car!!!! I love this movie. Audi S8 is one of the sickest sedans ever made! What year was that?

[NancyPelosi1954]

@Shoof120 1998 or 97 I believe.

[Mercedes600SEL]

@Shoof120 The movie is from 1998 and the car is from 1997, 1 version before facelift with 340hp and 5-automatic gearbox, he mention something about bosch injectors so that give another 30-40hp, by the way version above 2000 have 360hp standard. In Europe if you want, you have order a 340hp or 360hp with 6-speed manual - better accelration 5.4 sec to 0-60

[HemiPantera]

audi S8 -98. 4,2 l V8 340 bhp and nitrous.

This is the best movie. and this Audi S8 D2 is very nice.

[arntzville]

At 3:59, that's one of my few complaints with this awesome movie. The Audi should have forced the Citroen into the oncoming traffic, not moved over so everyone could fit on the road.

[23chilled]

damn that audi is awesome my dad had one years ago and i had chance to have a go of it on the sly what a machine. A very inexpensive car to buy and very underated but it is the running costs it what gets you with it hence why it was sold on but to this day he wishes he never had as he has never driven a car quite like it

[gerpegerpe]

the s8 model was never produced in manual version, these gear changing sounds were edited onto the video to give it more effect than an auto box would do

[playboyv12]

Actually, the European version had a manual transmission.

[gerpegerpe]

yes my son, you are 100% correct, and i correct myself too, but i have never seen one, dont think they were too popular, i just looked it up too, thanks for that.

[WHITEVOLK8814]

That´s right, but the now one is only made with automatic gearbox, unfortunately. At less it has semi auto, wich seems fine to have fun with the amazing S8 power.

[WHITEVOLK8814]

I wanted to say "the nEw one". =)

[xytfa13]

:o) good point...

[Cubansito]

"Something very fast, Audi S8? Something that can... shove a little bit". S8 is a much greater bang for your buck than a Mercedes S600 IMO.

[TheCarsTheStar]

Top film Top car.

[kazimann]

As far as I know, the S8 used in this has a manual gearbox (incredibly rare, American-spec. models never got this option).

[xytfa13]

'cause americans can't use manual gearbox...

[RafaLisbon1986]

Audi is awesome, but Citroen is good too!!

[1991power]

The Audi beats the Citroen in all disciplines: Speed Power Beauty Price Elegance Material Popularity The Audi is the best But why didn't they destroy it completely? This S8 won't be bought by anyone.

[Spike2049]

Yeah, I agree with you, but stil, that means nothing if the driver can't deal with it or is a jackass.

[Levazoid]

yankees are too dumb to use a manual t/m

[ramo805]

thats why they're professional baseball players and aren't professional drivers.

[USPATRIOT1776]

Thats funny, I thought the same thing about the swiss.

[sevenvt]

kind of ignorant statement considering its the most wanted transmission in the states. but surprise surprise... ignorance breeds contempt.

[KubaXxX777]

Audi S8 is amizing car, citroen havent chance. Audi Best.

[MICRII]

S8 KURWA TO JEST TOOOOO

[CaptainStam]

I like the Citroën XM much more than the S8.... B.T.W. there are 2 different types of Citroën XMs used in the chase. A model built before 1996 and one facelifted version built after this year. One of the disadvantages of this movie...However everything else is great!

[rab008]

I think this is the best car chase movie... the fact they dont use computer effects makes it awesome.

[convertibleboy]

AGREED

[brunovoxxx]

agreed 2

[phatvr6]

best car chase ever.

I bought an S8 today :-)

Then bought Ronin on Blu-Ray :-)

[gomo2000]

you need to sign up to some secret organisation and perform some illegal transactions and you are done...

[wazahwazah]

lol

[BLITZ4209mmKuSHSmoKe]

HOOK IT UP BRO. IM SERIOUS

[pluto19888]

è uno del film che preferisco e poi gli inseguimenti ..e l'S8...

[cnkus]

ronin is perfectttttt

[MrBlonde44]

sik car 5*****

[gattoturbo]

il migliori film con inseguimenti d'auto esistente

[JimeeRed]

NO slow down,JUST GO GO.

[ShiekUrBooty]

Ha, DeNiro, the "Operator" uses a tin cup to take out the SAS poser.

"What color is the boat house at Hereford?"

Beautiful!

[yazkaz]

The S8 is great, but an RS8 would be even better.

Glad I also witness Citroen's Hydractive working... VERY IMPRESSIVE.

[Zadster]

Yes it would be better. Only one small problem - there is no such thing as an RS8. There may be one if/when The R8 gets it's upgrade, but the naming hasn't been decided yet.

[sh0wtime777]

i wanted an S8 ever since i saw this film.

well i've had one for nearly 2 years now & its still an awesome car. proud to drive it.

[ShudeBwerkin]

he's got the specs...

[tiestoforever]

Oh, he crasht that S8 so bad. No, its too hard for me to watch Audi crashing. By the way, the scene was so funny because S8 driver found it hard to catch that piece of crap - Citroen :)

[ildoddore]

hi,just a info: e32 is the old 7er series, the 5er series is the e34....

[videoviewer06]

...ok, now I know they're were Audi S8's in this film, what model BMW's were they using, help me here??

[cdpay73]

Mate it was an E32 series M5 - A classic hyper sedan from Bimmer. Check out second hand values on Google. They still get good dollars...very fast in their day and still one to get hands on.

[Zadster]

The one they used in the film is actually a 335 with M5 trim. Check IMDB etc for the various reasons why.

[hsynceku]

10 numara araba işte bu... =)

[brabusa2]

This movie rullez !!!

[Dodgrlvr33]

At least he had the common courtesy to yack OUTSIDE of the Audi... what a chump.

[iLoroLibri]

is it a s8 1998?

[mrkeogh]

Jesus that Spence character annoyed the fuck out of me...I was hoping Jean Reno might push him out of the car lol

[cenxoyo]

I was the stunt driver in Ronin. Yeah right !!! The S8 is awesome. Paydays on Thusrday, hmmmmm.

[ChrisUK2]

One of the only car chases ever to be filmed in real time. That is also the only german car I would ever own. That Audi Would piss over that dirty Shitreon.

[rab008]

"SHITROEN" lol xD!!

[gsilverstone]

All star cast here, but everything I remeber from this movie is the S8. Now I see why!

[hasdapunjab]

HOWDEE AUDI U WILL FIND OUT UR SELF ONEZ U'LL ON THE TOP OF THIZ MACHINE JUZZZZZZZZZZ DAMN STUNNIN

[DJSnipa]

Wow you talk weird or type.
